We have stayed here 3 or 4 times now and have always found our rooms to be very clean and comfortable with everything we need. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. The food when we’ve eaten has always been good also. We will be returning again. - Jennifer B

We had a one night stay in February 2020 and would certainly return on a future trip to Cambridge. The location is easy to get a bus into the city, there is ample free parking and the room that we had was nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was really good too. The room also had an air conditioning unit although we didn't need it in February.We received a friendly welcome when we arrived. All in all, excellent. - David R
